    I feel like this should be regulated. We should not let private interests arbitrarily mold our speech just because that speech is being mediated by platforms that they create.

    Edit: For the record, I’m not making a free speech absolutist argument.

      Mold our speech, tell us what we can or can’t watch on the internet, and teach the general public to self-censor.

      I hate this modern day bullshit. Just let me watch the pron I want, say the shit I want, when I want.

        Self censoring by mis-spelling the word porn is quite the touch of irony in a comment like this on a platform like this

          I was typing fast give me a fucking break. Childlike responses like that are why we’re in the shit we are now.

      I mean, I get slurs and stuff but drugs, sex, chauvinist? Like the one scenario it makes sense is to avoid Karens suing because a kid mashes the keyboard on the device they handed off raising their kids to, and ends up on an inappropriate website or something. Freeze peach barely even enters into it. Edit: I’ve worded this poorly I mean it seems like something more overt than a free speech issue. Like something that started as liability shielding that blew out. Ah well.
